| Subject: | Configure timeout too short for Cygwin; not an option? |
Virtual and emulated platforms may take more than 60 seconds to configure some distributions.
For example, Cygwin is notoriously slow. Combine with IO::Tty's configure-time probes, which
build and run many little C programs, and cpanm times out before IO::Tty can fail for intrinsic
reasons.
Two suggestions:
Increase the timeout on known slow platofrms like $^O eq 'cygwin'.
Provide options to increase or skip the timeouts.
